Luka Modric will become a minority owner at Swansea City, talkSPORT understands.
The Croatian is regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all-time amid a Real Madrid career that’s been littered with trophies.
Modric has enjoyed an illustrious football careerGettyModric has won four LaLiga titles and six Champions League trophies with Madrid, as well as the prestigious Ballon d’Or in 2018.
However, his attention now looks set to turn towards Championship side Swansea with a surprise ownership position.
American businessmen Andy Coleman, Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen are the current majority owners with a share worth 77.41 per cent.
Nigel Morris holds 14.04 per cent, whilst the Swansea City Supporters Society Ltd make up a remaining 7.59 per cent.
It remains to be seen how much of the club Modric will be buying, but he is expected to remain playing for Madrid alongside his duties.
Swansea are 12th in the Championship and eight points outside of the play-off spots with four games remaining.
Alan Sheehan is currently in interim charge of the Welsh side and was appointed after Luke Williams was sacked in February.
The Swans are in their seventh consecutive Championship season since they were relegated from the Premier League in 2018.
Fourth and sixth place finishes before play-off defeats in 2020 and 2021 respectively have been the closest they’ve come to a return.
Swansea will now welcome football royalty to their board as Modric prepares for life off the pitch.
Modric is set to become an owner at SwanseaGetty The Swans will have a Ballon d’Or winner within their hierarchygettyFollowing promotion to the senior team at Dinamo Zagreb, the 39-year-old signed for Tottenham in 2008.
He made 160 appearances for the Premier League outfit and caught the eye of Spanish giants Madrid.
Modric signed for around £30million and has featured 583 times for the club, scoring 43 goals and assisting another 93.
The veteran has won 28 trophies with Madrid and could break the 30-mark this season as they fight for another three titles.
European football expert Andy Brassell joined Hawksbee and Jacobs on talkSPORT to talk about Modric’s interest with Swansea.
“What a dream it would be to see him in the Championship!” he said.
Modric is tasked with overturning Madrid’s defeat to Arsenal in the Champions LeagueGetty“I think he could probably go at Real Madrid for another year or two, but maybe not if there are too many other games like the Arsenal one the other night.”
Brassell was referring to their 3-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg loss to the Gunners last week ahead of the second leg this Wednesday, live on talkSPORT.
“I really felt that Modric was hung out to dry in that formation. It’s funny, before the Arsenal game, I think I said to you guys last week, that the worst hour of Champions League football they had in the season before that Arsenal game was the first hour at Liverpool.
“They played [Federico] Valverde at right-back and terribly missed him in midfield. So what did they do? Again, played him at right-back instead of in midfield, it really made a difference.
“They were all over the place, [Jude] Bellingham was trying to do the work of three, four men really so for them to say, ‘We’re a different kettle of fish at the Bernabeu.’
“If they defend like they’ve defended recently, they have got no chance in this second leg, at all. I think Arsenal just have to keep it together to get the result they need.”
